My Ode to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Tuesday, November 11, 2008

Oh, disk of crimped delight- a UFO to my heart.Abduct my sense of control; I want you inside me.There you all dressed all coquettish in your pleatedschool girl uniform. I pull the skirt down a bit to revealyour smooth finery.

The first bite is like Bacchus's first sip of wine;I won't stop until I have all of you.The chocolate has a bite that gives way tothe crumbly salty peanut fillingthat sends three taste buds asunder.Oh bliss to be. Oh, bliss to be: Salty, Sweet, and Savory.Tart, Bitter, and Spicy are left wantingas Salty, Sweet, and Savory delve intheir orgy of decadent debauchery.

The isolated flavors watch with yearning, yearning, YEARNINGto be part of the flavor olympics held before them.The chocolate lunges with in a perfect arc and stumbles ina forgiving sandpit that settles the fall with subtle hints ofsavory, sweet, and salty peanut.Then it's the next event.The mouth and tongue tumble and somersault and pirouetteas they savor the essenceof this cosmic anomaly.Oh, Reese's. The apostrophe means I'm all yours.

But Nibbling bit by bit is so unfulfilling. I can't take it any more.I want all of you.The rest of the skirt comes off and in an explosion, the flavor saucer isgone.
